Eleven community organisations across south Leeds will come together on Monday 26 March to form a new partnership – Aspire to Succeed, writes Al Garthwaite.

For over ten years, the Aspire To Succeed partners including ASHA Neighbourhood Centre, Health for All and South Leeds Community Radio have worked together to attract substantial inward investment in commissions and grants to improve the lives and prospects of local residents.
